| Obverse description | Laureate and cuirassed bust of Philip I facing right, depicted frontally, with a gorgoneion ornament on the cuirass; the emperor holds a sceptre resting on his right shoulder. The obverse legend is arranged in a circular band around the bust, rendered in Greek characters. The portrait exhibits the robust, realistic style characteristic of mid-third century Roman provincial coinage from the Cyzicus conventus. |

| Reverse description | A hexastyle temple is depicted in perspective, its six columns framing a cult statue of Apollo standing to the right within the cella; the god's right arm is raised and his left rests upon a column or pillar. The architectural rendering reflects the conventions of provincial temple-type reverses, with the entablature and pediment clearly delineated. The reverse legend, in Greek, runs around the periphery of the coin identifying the issuing civic authority. |
